I trade my property for my wife

After changing her clothes, Xiao Jingyin came to the main hall. Seeing Jiang Xingchen staring down at the table, she blamed herself even more. She walked over slowly and sat down. She took the spoon from the maid and served Jiang Xingchen a bowl of light lotus seed porridge.

Xiao Jingyin comforted and explained in a soft voice: "The imperial grandmother is old and wants to go to Taishan Temple in Xishan to recuperate. The emperor wants to draw a portrait for the imperial grandmother, but the imperial grandmother wants me to draw one for her personally. Yu Zhesheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is quite accomplished in painting and calligraphy portraits, so I have been discussing the issue of portraits with the Minister of Rites for the past few days, and it will be completed in a few days."

Xiao Jingyin explained the reason why she has not been in the courtyard for the past few days. When she was speaking, she kept looking at Jiang Xingchen, wanting to see if she could feel more at ease, but Jiang Xingchen's reaction made her feel that such an explanation was not enough. Jiang Xingchen's cheerful face changed.

When she saw Jiang Xingchen's hand, she paused for a moment, then she didn't care, hummed lightly, and concentrated on drinking the lotus seed porridge in the bowl.

She wanted to talk to Jiang Xingchen, but before she could open her mouth, Jiang Xingchen got up and smiled and said, "I've finished eating, Ayin. My brother invited me to practice martial arts today. This meeting should be waiting for me. I'll start now." Go there." After speaking, Xiao Jingyin left without waiting for a response.

Xiao Jingyin's heart tightened, she pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Xingchen's leaving back, thinking of Jiang Xingchen's indifference when she heard the explanation just now, she felt more and more self-blaming.Is this angry?

She must have made Jiang Xingchen sad, but she didn't quite understand how the incident of just a few days made Jiang Xingchen so angry that he seemed to be a different person, and his eyes turned averted, and he didn't want to look at her.

After Jiang Xingchen left, she had no intention of eating, so someone cleared the table, got up and walked in the direction Jiang Xingchen was walking.

The summer resort was built with great care, and there is only a small courtyard with all kinds of places to rest and play.There is actually a small practice area.

Jiang Xingchen walked quickly from the main hall to the small courtyard for practicing exercises. She was afraid, afraid that she would not be able to control her heart. Just now when she heard Xiao Jingyin's explanation, her heart was indeed relieved, but she finally made up her mind. Her tenderness fell short.

She wanted Xiao Jingyin to feel that she didn't care about her so much anymore, that she was irrelevant.

The sun had just cast a golden glow, and the air was not hot, on the contrary, it carried some coolness unique to the early morning. Xiao Jingyin looked at Jiang Xingchen whose clothes were wet with sweat from a distance. But it seems to have endless strength.

Jiang Xingchen dragged Qin Ling over early before he had eaten. The two used sticks to make swords. Frowning, he reminded aloud: "Is the injury on your hand still fully healed, take it easy."

The stick in Jiang Xingchen's hand was originally in the right hand. Maybe it was because the stick was longer, so she even used her left hand, and it was very easy to play. Panting heavily, he said, "It's okay, brother needs to do his best to improve the stars."

Qin Ling saw Jiang Xingchen like this, so he took it seriously. During the game, Jiang Xingchen saw that Qin Ling was not hiding, and smiled a little on his face. It's just that Qin Ling's martial arts are superior to Jiang Xingchen's, and he hasn't been doing well recently. Resting and eating, it is still a bit difficult to parry.

After fighting dozens of moves, Jiang Xingchen's body became a little weak, and the energy he had accumulated before was about to be exhausted.

Qin Ling struck with a stick from the air, using [-]% of his strength, Jiang Xingchen blocked it with the stick, his arm went numb instantly, and bright red oozes from his left hand. Before Qin Ling could react, he was caught by a distant Xiao Jingyin flew over and kicked away the stick in Qin Ling's hand.

She looked at Jiang Xingchen's left hand, her face was full of indescribable distress, and she announced to the accompanying imperial physician that Xiao Jingyin never spoke to her until Jiang Xingchen was re-bandaged.

The distress on her face was replaced by annoyance. She was annoyed that Jiang Xingchen was torturing herself like this, angry that she didn't take her feelings into account, and did what she thought was good for Jiang Xingchen according to her own ideas, instead of asking Jiang Xingchen if he would .

She wanted to make it clear to her that she liked her, and from the moment she carried her down the mountain that day, smelling her reassuring scent, she was recognized.

She didn't know why she could fall in love with someone in such a short time, even Liu Haogan, who she once wanted to abandon all, took two or three years to fall in love with.

She looked at Jiang Xingchen's tightly pursed lips, with an awkward and naive look of being caught for doing something bad, as if anxiously waiting for her to question her.

Xiao Jingyin smiled, stretched out her white catkin to attach to her side face, rubbed it lightly, and said softly: "I have someone boil hot water for you, and go take a bath. Be careful not to get your hands wet. "

Jiang Xingchen didn't wait for words of reproach, she raised her eyes for a moment in surprise, and met Xiao Jingyin's gentle expression.After being stunned for a moment, she lowered her head in a panic. She didn't dare to look at that face that could make her collapse and fall in just a moment.

Jiang Xingchen replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Qin Ling followed her to the side room, where a bucket for bathing was prepared. Qin Lingping withdrew his servants and guarded the outside room. Jiang Xingchen took off his clothes and the armor on his chest without any scruples. , Qianqian jade body, like creamy fat, slender limbs swaying with each step, moved into the water, the water covered the fog, and the spring hair lightly scattered on the shoulders.

Perhaps the water temperature was a little warmer. A moment after entering the water, Jiang Xingchen's complexion became ruddy. A 16-year-old girl should be charming and lovely, which was fully reflected in her fair and fair face.

She was lying on the edge of the bucket, the mist made her dizzy, she felt exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to sleep for a while, her eyelids were lightly closed, and she fell asleep with her eyes closed. After a long time, Jiang Xingchen, who woke up, felt this He slept very peacefully, and hadn't felt so relaxed for several days. The water temperature remained at the original temperature, and Qin Ling should have overheated the water halfway through.

She stood up, and the water flowing around her body slid down along with the movement of her getting up, leaving only drops of water attached to her graceful body. Bath towel, wipe your body clean.When Fang was about to pick up a change of clothes, she caught a glimpse of the armor beside her, and she laughed at herself. All the troubles washed away just now rushed back in an instant. She was a daughter, and she was still a man in the eyes of others. She is also a man in the heart of the person she admires.

After a long time, she adjusted her mood and exhaled lightly.She thought she was right.Even if Xiao Jingyin found out that she was a woman in the end, she couldn't make her feel that she had cheated her feelings by using her identity as a man.She has already experienced a heartbreak that urges her to break, and she doesn't want to see her collapse again when she knows the truth.

Jiang Xingchen put on the armor, quickly put on the white brocade gown with a lotus leaf, and tied the jade belt around her waist. When she was about to dry her hair with some water droplets, there was a knock at the outer door. There was a knock on the door, followed by Xiao Jingyin's worried voice: "Xingchen, it's been an hour, are you still okay?"

Then there was the sound of Qin Ling's footsteps walking quickly into the inner room. Jiang Xingchen saw Qin Ling coming in and heard Xiao Jingyin's tense expression just now. She nodded towards Qin Ling, and Qin Ling went to open the outer door. She turned sideways to let Xiao Jingyin in. After Xiao Jingyin went in, she saw Jiang Xingchen coming out of the inner room wiping her hair. At that moment, Xiao Jingyin looked a little dazed. She blinked lightly, and walked over to take the towel in her hand. Silently continuing to wipe for her, Jiang Xingchen didn't refuse her, like a docile kitten, he bent down slightly so that Xiao Jingyin wouldn't have to work so hard.

After the hair was dry, Xiao Jingyin tied up the jade crown for her, and he was another iconic handsome man.It's just that at that moment, Jiang Xingchen, who casually wiped and twitched his black hair, is slender, handsome and swaying like a wind bamboo, and there is still a touch of pink on his fair face that has not completely faded, just like a charming girl. Xiao Jingyin felt that she should be Waiting outside for an hour is hot and dizzy.

Staring at Jiang Xingchen's handsome face for a few more times, he said with a smile on his face, "Father just sent someone over to ask about your hand injury, and asked someone to bring a tribute of golden sore medicine. The wound is too deep. , I'm afraid it will leave a scar." After speaking, he lowered his eyes and gently pulled Jiang Xingchen's left arm, looking at Jiang Xingchen's left hand with some distress.

"Father..." Xu Shi soaked for too long, and Jiang Xingchen's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound.

She cleared her throat, and said in a voice that was still hoarse but recognizable: "Father loves you, Xingchen is a man, so it's okay to leave some scars. Don't worry, Ah Yin."

Xiao Jingyin raised her eyes and saw Jiang Xingchen looking at her with clear eyes. Xiao Jingyin suddenly felt that Jiang Xingchen standing in front of her seemed a little strange. She didn't know what went wrong. It felt like an invisible barrier had formed for her.

She hesitated for a few moments, let go of Jiang Xingchen's arm, and said somewhat unnaturally: "Seeing that you ate too little in the morning, I asked someone to prepare some meals, and my brother happened to be there, let's go together."

Jiang Xingchen nodded, and asked Qin Ling to go to the main hall together.

During the banquet, Xiao Jingyin served Jiang Xingchen with vegetables and soup, and she took them one by one and ate them all.But without saying a word, Qin Ling looked at Xiao Jingyin's complicated expression, and at Jiang Xingchen who pretended to be calm, and sighed inwardly, why bother.

If you can control yourself at the beginning, you won't have the difficulty of controlling your emotions now.If there is no beginning, there will be no sadness today.Nie Yuan!

After Qin Ling finished eating quickly, he put away the bowls and chopsticks, and retreated out.She didn't want to see the emotional entanglement between the two of them. Her responsibility was to ensure Jiang Xingchen's safety, and her identity as a woman was not exposed, and nothing else was important.

The two people who stayed in the main hall were still speechless, it wasn't that Xiao Jingyin didn't want to talk, she wanted to ask what happened, why Jiang Xingchen seemed to be a different person in just a few days, but Jiang Xingchen's demeanor was different. Tell Xiao Jingyin not to talk to her.

Jiang Xingchen drank the last sip of the soup he was handed over, excused himself that he hadn't sorted out the article on the art of war that he sorted out yesterday, so he hurriedly said goodbye and hid back in the study.She couldn't hold on any longer, and pretended to be calm. When she caught a glimpse of Xiao Jingyin's sad side face, her heart felt a hurricane instantly, twisting the blood inside into a ball, and her fingers trembled uncomfortably. .
